Oakland Park FAQs for Telehealth Psychiatry
Can I do the first visit by video?
Often yes if privacy and risk allow. We may require Hollywood for complex or high-risk cases.
How close is the office if I need to convert?
About 22 minutes from Oakland Park to 7603 Davie Road Extension.
What if I travel to Georgia?
We cannot see you by telehealth while you are outside Florida.
Will you see me in a parked car?
Only if it is private, stationary, and clinically appropriate. Driving is a no.
What if Zoom fails?
We call you. If safety is in question, we use emergency pathways.
Do you record the visit?
We document a note. We do not post visits.
Do you treat anxiety related to life transitions?
Yes. Life transitions — career changes, relocations, relationship shifts — are common triggers for anxiety and depression. Our evaluations assess these factors and create targeted treatment plans.

Next step
